News from: Ali Roberts - Speech and Language
Therapist
Since beginning in September I have been making my way around the
classes within the school and getting to know all the pupils and staff. I have
been working mainly within the classrooms to make this possible. I have
been down to the Nursery each week either on a Friday or Wednesday morning and
joining in with the communication groups as well as some individual work and
joining in with everyday Nursery activities. I have been at Chiltern Edge
every other Friday afternoon where I have been joining in some of their
everyday activities as well as some individual sessions. At the Primary
school I have been in every Wednesday afternoon and every other Wednesday
Morning. Within these classes I have been joining in with communication
groups, everyday activities and carrying out some individual sessions.
Next term I will continue on these days and will continue to support each
class. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to
discuss anything about your child’s communication or how we are supporting this
within the school.
My work mobile number is: 07810 757394 (messages can be left at any time)
News from: The Physiotherapists
Lynn Johnson,
who has worked for 30 years as a Physio within the NHS and 7 years as the
Bishopswood Physio, has left her post in order to take a big breath to decide
on future life plans. She has really enjoyed working with local families
and such a motivated and strong willed set of pupils, as well as being embraced
as part of the Bishopswood team. We wish
her every success for the future.
We are
very pleased to welcome Jenny O'Neill, Physiotherapist, as Lynn’s replacement,
who is hoping to continue long term in this position.
We also
welcome Hannah Felappi, Physiotherapy Technician, who joined the team in
May.
